ItвЂ™s the thought that goes into solving these challenges that make them more than just the results of your control methods. One rather intricate puzzle involves moving around little orbs and turning mirrors to guide the path of laser beams to their proper destinations, the puzzle having many moving parts that can be altered so you canвЂ™t just bumble your way into a solution easily. There are more puzzle types to be found that even find ways to push the limits of what simple object movement can achieve.

Spacing, weight, and object shape are common considerations when trying to overcome a puzzle, fitting it through certain sized gaps or using it to manipulate other environmental objects requiring you to have fairly good spacial awareness. Picking up objects is of course quite common, but sometimes youвЂ™ll need to hold them properly to move them into the right positions, put them in the right area with other objects to displace water or weigh down buttons, and many times youвЂ™ll need to bring a glowing orb to whatever device it is meant to power up. Despite only being able to grab things and move them around, these puzzles come up with new ways to test your ability to problem solve and move things around intelligently, sometimes the puzzle being to identify what youвЂ™re supposed to do in the first place in this wordless game.

Despite this incredible simplicity though, Unmechanical: Extended stands as an excellent example of how controls donвЂ™t make a game, as with just two available actions it manages to creatively construct quite the challenging puzzle game.ДЄs you explore the subterranean cavern where Unmechanical: Extended takes place, youвЂ™ll find progress blocked by little puzzles, the robot youвЂ™re playing as needing to activate switches, power up devices, or otherwise create a path forward to move onward in its attempt to escape.

Playing as a small flying robot, you can fly around freely in a sidescrolling view and you can pick up objects with a little tractor beam attached to your bottom. Unmechanical: Extended is a game where you can only do two things.
